Wasted a day, trying to implement the formula over at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud#Creation_of_a_tag_cloud" title="wikipedia tag cloud" rel="nofollow">wikipedia page "Tag cloud"</a>. Of course percentage is better =) Thanks! @WMI: Hn-tags is for headings. Use span or a tags for tags and set the sizes in the css, just like the blogpost explains. <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hn.asp" title="w3schools hn-tags" rel="nofollow">more about h-tags at w3schools.com</a> -goof I should have found this from the beginning.

Would have used yours, but it wasn't exactly the way I needed it. Wanted to do more sizes than the 5 you list (increments of 20). It came out fairly well. Was wondering why you didn't use H tags for the different sizes? @Flying Spaghetti Monster Using the method GET should be working. The GET method just puts the content in the url bar, whereas POST hides the results. If you want to try it out between GET and POST, change the script to use $_REQUEST instead of $_GET. That way you can switch between GET and POST without having to alter the php coding. Created a tag cloud today in php using yours as a reference.
